i believe he had an abdominal tumour that ruptured tonight...he was lethargic and his mucous membranes were white, he was obviously bleeding internally...deb and angelina came and helped me get him to the vet. mugsy was a tough old farm dog and he did not like human things...like collars and leashes and mini vans and it terrified him to go anywhere. but he managed really well, he was so very brave and he died quietly and stoically.... full of his own kind of unique dignity..he was a very great dog.
i will miss your utterly beautiful face, good dog mugsy, very good dog.
Good by sweet Mugsy. Rest in Peace. He has such a beautiful face, it tells a million stories.
